May be I suck, but I am the first and only one so far posted a demonstration to show what 4th octave notes are like. What so negative about it? If you are better, then pls show us, so we can learn from you.

I love to see you miserable troll to login 7 times and fresh 7 times to vote me down, no life loser!

I'm a paid subscriber and I use 8notes facilities, I have just filed a complaint to David to find out who has been his paid subscribers, including your IP, your cookies and your computer names and email addresses.

I still have sometime to play with you troll before I go to Vienna Philharmonic 2 weeks later to study with Harnoncourt.

Please don't think playing upto F#7 is a nonsense, it is actually required by Trevor Wye in his exercises, he said it will make your embouchure more focused, and make you find the exact pin-point position of the sound-production of your flute! Try to remember this point and position then you will play your other notes more easily.....

pyrioni, didn't i read in another thread that you also made up several user accounts? by reporting the troll you may actually get yourself in trouble. also, it might actually be several people posting them down and not a troll at all. i get tired of hearing you brag about yourself every post myself and have voted some down. sorry, dude just sayin it how it is so don't bite my head of please :0

At least I play and record what I say, and prove what I said, unlike you, come here just to shout ENOUGH, TROLLS, and all kind of forum politics, forming small circle, driving dissident away, and BEING somebody's ghost, you sound just so much like somebody else, what? kill your body and you are ghost now?

Wow, I am so impressed already, you vote me -1 that is fine, but you vote yourself +1 immediately after post your own post?

a ghost? i don't believe in ghosts. no need to be so sensitive. i am not sure what exactly you would like me to prove? who do i sound like? just curious.

for the record, i did vote your post down but i did not vote up my own post. just looks like someone out there agrees with me. sorry.

Ewww...who would want to play that high? Yuck! It sounds like a wailing cat in heat.

Hey Micron!

Sir James Galway just now wrote on Galway Flute Chart that he thought I did well on highest notes:

If you don't believe me, you can check it on GFC today....

"Dear Johann,

I think you are doing very well with these top notes. Very well indeed. I would like to know why your teacher thinks you should practice these notes? I never practiced anything above top C (c 4)
but wonder what the point of this is.

Best wishes,
Sir James,

You are my teacher's teacher, how should I reply him? Micron?????

<Added>

my English is bad, help me, it will be viewed by thousands of people in the world on GFC. you know my point of practising these highest notes, right?

<Added>

I find that after practiced these high notes I can now play 3rd octaves very easily, more focused and with more strength, more strengthened embouchure.....

BTW, I played piccolo for the first time in my life yesterday, and I could immediately hit C8 and C#8 easily, can I also mention this to him?

What is so wrogt with saying what you said here:

"I find that after practiced these high notes I can now play 3rd octaves very easily, more focused and with more strength, more strengthened embouchure....."

It makes a very good point......and a bit of room for some discussion.
Especially about embouchure/support strength vs. quality.

but also remember that he asks this question of why does your teacher recommend these high notes. A different point of view about why you are doing them. This only involves you asking your teacher and then posting a quote of that teacher's comments.

Thank you! you are very right! Bilbo, I should mention both my point of views and my teacher's point of views to him.

I just asked my teacher, she's an ex-principal of a pro-orchestra, now a head professor of a music academy, she said because of three things:

- To following Trevor Wye's exercises
- To strengthen my embouchure (in Trevor Wye's 4th octave exercises he also mentioned strengthen embouchure)
- & to have fun (LOL, I can't say that!!!)

Can I also mentioned I played piccolo for the first time in my life yesterday, and I could immediately hit C8 and C#8 easily, that would sound bragging, right?

Oh, also my teacher just said she once played a F#4 in a concert, so if I want to go into orchestra oneday, I should know how to play 4th octave notes.

My first reply to a greatest master, so nervous, sorry.

Well, I think that you are approaching this very well.
The only thing that I can say is to be respectful of his position and experience. This is regardless of whether or not you totally admire everything about this master. .......If only because someday you may have his sort of experiences in life and you'd expect the same respect from others in return.

I know what you mean Bilbo...thanks!...I just sent this message to GFC, hope it's OK:

Dear Sir James,

Wow, Thank you! I'm so flattered.

I just asked my teacher your question today during flute lesson, she said:

- Just to practice all Trevor Wye's exercises (including this highest note exercise)
- To strengthen my embouchure and support (in Trevor Wye's 4th octave exercise he also mentioned to strengthen our embouchure with it)
- To have fun (LOL, my teacher said it and laughed)
- She also said she once played a F#4 in a concert, (she's an ex-principal flautist, now a professor of a music academy), so if I want to get into orchestra someday, it maybe helpful to know how to play these 4th octave notes. But she admit upto D4 is quite enough.

Thank you Sir James!

Johann

PS..I practice scales daily because of you Sir.
